I think what your meaning is the rudder is fully deflected either full left or right? If so this is gererally done in windy conditions and acts to reduce the surface area of the tail in order to minimise the aircraft's natural tendency to weather cock which have cause aircraft in the past to spin 180 degrees on stand.Hope this helps.
