A method and an apparatus for carrying out the method for installing an especially dome-shaped pressure bulkhead on a one-piece, substantially conical rear section for an aircraft, wherein said rear section includes a connection area and an end area. The method involves the steps of horizontally accommodating a prefabricated rear section in a horizontal support; inserting the rear section into a pivoting frame; pivoting the rear section into a vertical position using the pivoting frame, wherein the connection area of the rear section points upward; horizontally placing and centering the pressure bulkhead on the connection area, and joining the pressure bulkhead with the rear section in the area of the connection area.
