Ash fell from the co-pilot's cigarette into the oxygen mask container in the cockpit and kindled a flame. The pilots pulled the mask out and extinguished the fire using wet towel in haste; however, the control yoke was accidentally knocked on, causing the autopilot to disengage, and a large bank angle (38 degrees) developed before the crew recovered the plane's normal attitude. No injury was reported. The co-pilot's oxygen mask was damaged. Shandong Airlines briefed on this incident in its internal bulletin. China's civil aviation authority banned pilots from smoking on board months later.
