In most flight manuals, a tailwind component is not permitted within a Category A procedure.

ICAO makes clear that it can be used when permitted by the Flight Manual but a significant safety factor should be applied - i.e. not less than 150% of any reported tail wind component.

Thus Jim....as I read your carefully worded response....there is no absolute prohibition.
