More than 60 people were on the flight from Newcastle to Brisbane when there was an alert in the cockpit, indicating a possible problem with the landing gear.
Video from the flight captured the moment when passengers were told to brace.
But the plane landed safety and no one was hurt.
"Our engineers have inspected the aircraft and identified that the alert in the cockpit was due to a faulty sensor, and the landing gear was operating normally through the flight," QantasLink chief executive John Gissing said.
"We understand this would have been a very unsettling experience for our passengers and sincerely thank them for their cooperation throughout the flight."
