Abstract

A method for making a pressure bulkhead assembly of an aircraft includes determining first locations and first orientations of a plurality of first holes, pre-drilled in an aft pressure bulkhead. The method also includes determining a first surface profile of a first interface surface of the aft pressure bulkhead and determining a second surface profile of a second interface surface of each one of a plurality of splice angles. The method also includes determining second locations and second orientations of a plurality of second holes to be drilled in each one of the plurality of splice angles corresponding to the plurality of first holes in the aft pressure bulkhead and drilling the plurality of second holes in each one of the plurality of splice angles at the second locations and second orientations.
