Rudder limiters will be unavailable under such circumstances.
The upper rudder actuators incorporate hydraulic relief valves which I believe, allow a blow down function. i.e. If the rudder actuators are subject to too much force as a result of air loads, pressure relief should take place and the upper rudder should not break (in theory).
