I've done a few cold landings in my days

It's not that hard really, all you have to do is stay clear of the station, 15+km, align yourself with the port, use a weapon crosshair if you have one
Then start moving towards the port with 4 pips into engines and turn FA off.
Next go to silent mode and turn engines off.
Request docking as soon as you can and hope you don't get denied.
When close to the port turn on engines but stay in silent mode.
You should have more than enough time to land in silent mode and be in your hangar before you even appear on anyone's scanner.
