No sideways movement at touchdown
Hover height held within 5 ft

What held you back

Arrival Approach — Fastest descent 1,868 fpm at 11 %, 26 % of the approach descending fast with little airspeed at 53 %, −4.52 points
Arrival Hover — Moved over the ground at 5.6 kt on average at 94 %, −0.57 points

Next time

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 1,868 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.
