Next time

Departure

Keep the disc level with small cyclic pressures instead of large corrections that have to be taken back out.

What happened: The steepest bank in the hover after lift-off was 14°; a steady hover stays within 6°.

Watch for: The horizon level across the windscreen.

See Departure Hover

Arrival

Start the descent earlier and hold a steady, moderate rate with collective, so there is no steep drop to stop near the ground.

What happened: The approach reached 2,214 fpm of descent, against 800 fpm for full marks.

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

See Arrival Approach

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.
