Narrative:
Went around at 200 ft because we were too close behind the aircraft in front. On downwind lost 300 ft altitude, called approach control. They said the spacing was too close for landing and the altitude deviation was no problem. The only reason for filing this report is we had someone in the cabin make a complaint.
