A Northern Territory pilot has had to work hard to keep his cool, after a stowaway huntsman dropped onto him from the cockpit's ceiling as he was landing a plane.
Footage obtained by 9 News shows the giant spider crawling along the inside of the plane's cockpit as it landed in Kakadu National Park on Tuesday.
Describing the arachnid as a "big boy", passenger Sean Hancock estimated it was around 15cm across.
The Cessna aircraft had been on a scenic flight when they noticed the arachnid, with Hancock saying the pilot was a little shaken when the spider dropped.
