Regarding tailwind starts, I think I picked up from BM a few years back a simple and effective technique of starting with reversers deployed until N1 rotation - not approved but *** useful in a 60kt tailwind if you cannot be moved.
We would deploy the T/Rs before engine shut down on the JT8, for that exact reason where dust storms and or strong winds were forecast.
While some actions are not approved, sometimes you need to adapt, improvise, and overcome.
Thorough briefing with ground and flight crew is a must. But hey... you do what you gotta do in order to get out of Dodge.
I may have seen that technique with the RB211
wink wink nudge nudge say no more.
