Some good advice in this thread, two things that stand out for me to avoid scans with pax who are averse to this:
1) Silent Running and dropping Heat Sinks
2) Boosting
Of the two, and I've tried both, boosting works for me. When approaching a station in SC, I try to be as aligned as possible with the mail slot before dropping. Once I've dropped, I go full throttle, request docking permission, and boost. Of course, you need to watch out for other traffic and make sure you go through the mail slot by following the greens to avoid a collision. Depending on the ship I'm using, and the config, I may or may not have a DC installed. If I do, I let it land once I am safely inside the station, otherwise land manually obviously.
This does take practice, and Flight Control has warned me a few times about speeding and reckless flying. To placate the controller, I usually find out when they go off duty, and buy them a drink. That generally works!
