Per the A330 FCOM Flight Controls Description:

"Rudder and pedal deflection is limited as a function of the speed. Each limiter channel is controlled and monitored by its associated SEC. In case of double SEC failure, the max rudder deflection remains at the value reached before failure ; then, a max deflection is available when the slats are extended."

Apologies if this is silly - haven't seen it before and can't find an answer -
What would allowable rudder deflection be if, before the double failures, airspeed was 'indicated' to be very low. Would that allow full rudder following the SEC failures? Or is there logic that only allows min deflection once limiting is activated, until slats deployment?

Cheers
