Narrative:

During takeoff from runway 15 at burbank, I inadvertently lined up on the left edge line rather than the ctlrine. The runway lights appeared to be centerline lights. I was slightly distracted by correcting the first officer's use of non standard calls during the before takeoff checklist. During the initial takeoff roll, I felt and heard a small bump, which I thought was the aircraft's left main wheel passing over an embedded surface light. At that time I realized we were on the left edge of the runway, and corrected toward the runway center. Because I thought we had only run over an embedded runway light, dividing the taxiway from the runway, and there was no indication of any problem with the aircraft, I continued the flight to the scheduled destination. After an uneventful flight and landing, I discovered damage to one of the left propeller blades, while turning the propellers. Apparently, the propeller had struck an object on the ground, possibly a runway light. Also contributing to the incident was the lack of the first officer's attention outside the aircraft while completing the before takeoff checklist. He was silent throughout the takeoff and did not notice our close proximity to the left edge of the runway until I told him I was correcting back to runway center. Burbank does not have centerline lights, but does make use of many embedded surface lights to divide the runways from the txwys.

Title: PIC OF A BA31 STARTS HIS TKOF ROLL ON RWY 15 AT BUR WHILE LINED UP OVER THE RWY EDGE LIGHTS. HE THOUGHT THEY WERE THE RWY CTRLINE LIGHTS WHICH ARE NON EXISTENT AT BUR. THIS WAS A NIGHT OP. FO SAID NOTHING.

Narrative: DURING TKOF FROM RWY 15 AT BURBANK, I INADVERTENTLY LINED UP ON THE L EDGE LINE RATHER THAN THE CTLRINE. THE RWY LIGHTS APPEARED TO BE CTRLINE LIGHTS. I WAS SLIGHTLY DISTRACTED BY CORRECTING THE FO'S USE OF NON STANDARD CALLS DURING THE BEFORE TKOF CHKLIST. DURING THE INITIAL TKOF ROLL, I FELT AND HEARD A SMALL BUMP, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE ACFT'S L MAIN WHEEL PASSING OVER AN EMBEDDED SURFACE LIGHT. AT THAT TIME I REALIZED WE WERE ON THE L EDGE OF THE RWY, AND CORRECTED TOWARD THE RWY CTR. BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE HAD ONLY RUN OVER AN EMBEDDED RWY LIGHT, DIVIDING THE TXWY FROM THE RWY, AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY PROB WITH THE ACFT, I CONTINUED THE FLT TO THE SCHEDULED DEST. AFTER AN UNEVENTFUL FLT AND LNDG, I DISCOVERED DAMAGE TO ONE OF THE L PROP BLADES, WHILE TURNING THE PROPS. APPARENTLY, THE PROP HAD STRUCK AN OBJECT ON THE GND, POSSIBLY A RWY LIGHT. ALSO CONTRIBUTING TO THE INCIDENT WAS THE LACK OF THE FO'S ATTN OUTSIDE THE ACFT WHILE COMPLETING THE BEFORE TKOF CHKLIST. HE WAS SILENT THROUGHOUT THE TKOF AND DID NOT NOTICE OUR CLOSE PROX TO THE L EDGE OF THE RWY UNTIL I TOLD HIM I WAS CORRECTING BACK TO RWY CTR. BURBANK DOES NOT HAVE CTRLINE LIGHTS, BUT DOES MAKE USE OF MANY EMBEDDED SURFACE LIGHTS TO DIVIDE THE RWYS FROM THE TXWYS.
