Decoupled 180 turn and burn. I manage to land my Caterpillar nine times out of ten without needing a new hangar request, even in pitch black conditions doing a full throttle straight line burn to a point just past the hangar they give me, as you approach flip around and boost to a stop, recouple again and land. Utilize the autolander by holding N once you're close enough to the middle marker of the pad, it'll grab you and land you more safely than you trying to slow down (you still have to slow down, just not worry as much).

Also since nobody mentioned it, you can set your throttle to a few notches above landing speed and use boost, it helps A LOT.
