Slow flight would have been good had there been time. I was abeam the

Antonio,
Sounds to me, you may need to assess your own flying. Based on your
statement above, sounds to me, that you were 20 seconds behind the airplane
rather then ahead of the plane.
FOR ME, by the time I am abeam the numbers, unless I am asked to keep my
speed up, I am at my final approach speed of 70 knots in my Sundowner.
This allows for a shorter final at this speed and I am taking a lot less
real estate in my pattern.
