Can someone tell me what the right landing speed for the A320 is please? I have searched it up and it says 135knts but when I slow to that speed on final my aircraft stalls.

I would go for 160kts/4NM final or as instructed by the ATC, then I would reduce my speed to 142kts (see this thread) until about 300-500ft AGL, then flare to 125kts. Your aircraft won’t stall as long you set the right trim (which I usually set 20% for landing) and set the flaps to full.

The A320’s landing speed depends on its weight and landing configuration, as long as its elevation is between 2.5 and 3.0

I would do 140-145 knots when I pass the threshold and reduce the power to idle when at 40-50 feet.
Good website for landing speeds.

hm?
You might want to use flaps, or check your weight-
If the aircraft is too heavy, I’d suggest about 150
If it’s just a little overweight about 140
But normally, I land with 135kts. . .
We could help you further if you showed us a video with the aircraft settings. I usually land with full flaps at 130kts.
I use that website all the time. Very helpful.

By that I assume you must mean pitch above the horizon.
At first glance I wondered if the AoA - angle between your nose mark and the FPV was a bit high or not.
But actually I never know until I test it (unless I can have good enough memory).
As long as one is not too close to stall (by testing, is what I usually do), and one can have full control authority over the FPV (control over pointing it down to get down to the runway…and then full control over, arresting the rate of descent for the flare…then all is good).
Bottom line: I liked your comment.
So, yeah, an approach speed to have sufficient control authority over the FPV…and pitch is a good guide to that, and that is dependent on loading and configuration, as you said.
