What went well

No sideways movement at touchdown
No sink accelerating out of the hover

What held you back

Arrival Approach — Fastest descent 2,275 fpm at 0 %, 44 % of the approach descending fast with little airspeed at 13 %, −2.22 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touched down at 481 fpm at 30 %, −1.56 points
Arrival Approach — 84 % of the approach descending fast with little airspeed at 0 %, −1.19 points

Next time

Arrival

Hold the descent to 800 fpm or less on the approach, so the landing starts from a rate that is already under control.

What happened: The approach reached 2,275 fpm of descent and the helicopter met the ground at 481 fpm. A steep approach leaves a lot of descent to stop in little height, and a firm touchdown is what usually follows.

Watch for: Vertical speed: no more than 800 fpm on the approach.

See Arrival ApproachArrival Touchdown

As you slow through about 20 knots near the end, add collective to offset the loss of translational lift, together with the matching pedal. Keep some forward speed until you're close to the ground.

Every landing in this flight

The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.
