A320 OPS with QNH below 950 hPa

In reference to this thread, I would like to ask whether any operators have procedures in place to operate at a QNH below 950 hPa, as our older ships' FCUs wont go below 950.

We were recently discussing the problem for the discussions sake and couldn't come up with a real work-around as

- STBY Altimeter also goes only to 950
- Vertical Separation might be affected when using 950 iso the actual QNH
- QFE-Ops only helps on an significantly elevated airfield

Who did it already and how? Private Procedures or official ones? What are other types limited to? Any insights appreciated...

Safe flights, MAX
