10 kt tail has been the routine certification limit for aeons. AFM approval to go beyond it is an over and above exercise for which, as others have observed above, you can expect to pay handsomely.

Be aware that there be dragons associated with excess tailwind operations and those TPs who have been tasked with such testing usually have a few hair-raising tales to relate over an ale.
