Spoilers and Other Automation in Type

Then among the automatic configuration changes at landing are 1) with thrust at idle, if the wheels begin to spin, the spoilers deploy; 2) if full thrust is subsequently applied, the spoilers will automatically retract, regardless of wheel spin, and; 3) if thrust is retarded again and the wheels are still spinning, the spoilers will deploy again regardless of actual contact with the ground.

In addition, stick pusher issues could come into play depending on airspeed and AoA. Correct so far?

Are there other automatic configuration changes in this phase of flight?
