Next time

Arrival

Bring the helicopter to a stationary hover over the spot first, then set it down vertically.

What happened: The helicopter was moving forward at 55 kt at touchdown, against 5 kt for full marks.

Watch for: The ground ahead: no movement towards you before the skids touch.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.
