Reversing from gate (powerback) is a bit different, because these days there are noise & safety regulations which may limit or prohibit such practice.

Typically at most major airports powerbacks (if allowed) may only be conducted from specific gates during specific times, with prior approval from the airport authority. The airline/operator must also have an approved OpSpec and associated procedures to conduct powerbacks.
