Having flown turbine powered helicopters most of my four decades of earning a crust, it’s been taken as read that a jet engine can’t be started by windmilling - because those fitted to helicopters aren’t generally exposed to forward airflow.

I’ve never worried about it. On the thankfully few occasions that I’ve had to carry out an inflight restart, it’s not been a problem.
