The aircraft struck the runway edge lighting during takeoff from Brisbane Airport.
The pilot lined the aircraft up and commenced take-off on the runway edge lighting from an intersection (A7) departure.
The misalignment of the aircraft was influenced by the pilot rushing due to perceived pressure to commence the take-off when the line-up clearance was given, the issuing of a frequency change while the pilot was completing the line-up checks as well as lining up the aircraft on the runway, the lack of taxiway lead-on lights to the runway, and limited brightness of the aircraft taxi light.
