A thermal blanket system is provided on an aircraft component to protect the component, for example, from engine heat. The component has a latch half attached thereto, which is also covered by the thermal blanket system. In some scenarios, the latch half may need to be detached from the component because the latch was stuck closed. The thermal blanket system includes a portion thereof which overlaps the latch half and breaks away from the remainder of the thermal blanket system when the latch half is detached.
