Narrative:

Upon landing in aus the other day with the first officer landing. Upon a smooth touchdown on runway 13R, dry runway, the spoilers deployed and then immediately jumped back to the retracted position. I deployed them manually and we completed the rollout. We were late on arrival and to be honest I didn't even think about the spoilers after we got to the gate. They worked fine landing back at ord. I have seen the autospoilers hesitate on very smooth lndgs but this is the first time I have seen them extend and immediately retract. My landing back at ord was obviously not as smooth and they worked fine.
