A magnetic latching system is provided for removably latching a panel to an aircraft surface portion. The latching system includes a removable axis panel engageable to a latching land. The panel and land define opposing magnetically attractive surface portions, with a body of magnetic material disposed there between. An inflatable seal is also disposed intermediate the panel and the land. Upon inflation, the inflatable seal is operative to urge the panel away from the land far enough to reconnect magnetic engagement between the panel and the land, sufficient to permit disengagement of the panel from the land.
