Time to bring back this issue!

I still can't understand what happens here.

If there is a GREEN LO LVL, according to the FCOM the shut off valves will close automatically. If there is another system affected by a LO LVL (blue or yellow), then they remain closed, automatically. According to the FCOM this is done in order to allow the RAT to restore the green system.

So it seems obvious that there is an alternate piping that bypasses the shut off valves and goes to the users, but Why is it that they don't show it to us? Where is the use in showing us the priority valves, for example, and not the way the RAT can restore the whole green system with just 8 ltrs remaining in the reservoir? And Why shutting off the valves? Is it because the design assumes that the leak occurs somewhere between those valves and the point at which the alternate piping merges with the normal one?

In the sim, when the TRI gives you dual low level and the RAT deploys, What happens? Is the system recovered?

Any "freaky" here can provide us with a schematic of the system from the AMM?

thanks!
