Hi there,

The ground spoliers will deploy as soon as the right main gear compresses or wheel spins AND thrust levers idle.
The bounce came as you had thrust during touchdown and possibly some rate of descent.

What buggs me is that you didnt realise your sink rate until 20ft.
Are you looking outside?the runway should rise at the aiming point about 40 feet in a standard rate of descent and about 30 feet at the 2/3 runway point.
If you didnt realized your sink,it only means you need to force yourself looking outside(rather than flying with feel of pants) and to initiate the flare as the runway rises...just follow the rise with an increase in pitch as you close the thrust levers.

If you ever get in a hard bouce i suggest you go around and do practice it in the sim before...
