Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 1, further comprising steps of:
generating a first three-dimensional profile of the aft pressure bulkhead based at least in part on the first surface profile, the first locations and the first orientations of the plurality of first holes;
generating a second three-dimensional profile of each one of the plurality of splice angles based at least in part on the second surface profile of each one of the plurality of splice angles; and
virtually overlaying the first three-dimensional profile of the aft pressure bulkhead and the second three-dimensional profile of the plurality of splice angles,
wherein the step of determining the second locations and the second orientations of the plurality of second holes to be drilled in the plurality of splice angles comprises determining locations and orientations of a drilling axis for drilling the plurality of second holes relative to the second three-dimensional profile of each one of the plurality of splice angles.
