A heat blanket for use in the repair of aircraft outer casings and method for using the heat blanket are provided. The heat blanket has an inner and outer layer of thermally conductive material. A series of heating elements are disposed between the inner and outer layers of materials and arranged into a plurality of heating zones. A control apparatus has a plurality of temperature sensors, each of which corresponds to one of the plurality of heating zones. The control apparatus provides power to the heating elements to control temperature for each respective zone as a function of sensed temperature. The blanket is shaped to cover a portion of the engine nacelle.
