A pilot walked away from a rough landing at Archerfield Airport that left a light plane on its side on Wednesday morning.

Archerfield Airport Corporation spokeswoman Kerry Reeves said the pilot of the plane, a Cessna 162, was not injured.

"The main runway of the airport is open to aircraft," she said.

"AAC has notified appropriate authorities and they will investigate the incident, which occurred before the control tower began operating at 7am.

"The aircraft left the runway and clipped a fence, and is extensively damaged."

It is understood a student pilot was at the plane's controls when it landed about 6am.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman said paramedics were not called to attend the incident.

IT’S one of the world’s fastest growing airlines with a modern fleet, but Qatar airlines has been rocked by reports revealing its shockingly archaic set of rules for female flight attendants.

Gulf carriers Etihad and Emirates were also blasted by the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) for its “flagrant abuses of aviation workers” — but they named Qatar Airways as the worst.

The ITF exposed unbelievable rules in the contracts for female flight attendants at Qatar Airways including:

• Female flight attendants can only be hired if they are single

• They must remain single for five years after starting work

• If they want to get married they have to ask the airline’s permission

• Pregnancy is a breach of contract and can lead to firing
