Narrative:

As the captain brought power up, I monitored the engine instruments. The captain released the brakes at about 70-75 percent N1 and then called 'set power,' but before I did, I glanced out the windshield. As I did, a light caught my attention. This light looked out of place, so I continued to watch it. Within about 1 or 2 seconds I realized that we were not on the centerline of the runway. Rather, we had lined up astraddle of the right edge line. I called 'that's the edge of the runway' 3 or 4 times in rapid succession to the captain when we ran the right main and nose gear off the right side of the runway. The captain reduced power to idle and deployed the reversers along with applying brakes. But, before we re- entered the runway, we had struck 4 runway edge lights and had bent the right main gear door. Plus, we had broken a communication antenna off. Our company took pictures of the area where we had run off the runway. We found that the taxi line from taxiway a joined with the right side edge line of runway 34 and did not continue to the centerline of the runway. I feel that between that and the darkness, rain, and the fact that there are no runway edge lights for the first 400-600 ft on right side of runway 34, all contributed to this misinterp of our position on the runway.

Title: A C560 CREW LINED UP ON THE R SIDELINE OF THE RWY VICE THE CTRLINE.

Narrative: AS THE CAPT BROUGHT PWR UP, I MONITORED THE ENG INSTS. THE CAPT RELEASED THE BRAKES AT ABOUT 70-75 PERCENT N1 AND THEN CALLED 'SET PWR,' BUT BEFORE I DID, I GLANCED OUT THE WINDSHIELD. AS I DID, A LIGHT CAUGHT MY ATTN. THIS LIGHT LOOKED OUT OF PLACE, SO I CONTINUED TO WATCH IT. WITHIN ABOUT 1 OR 2 SECONDS I REALIZED THAT WE WERE NOT ON THE CTRLINE OF THE RWY. RATHER, WE HAD LINED UP ASTRADDLE OF THE R EDGE LINE. I CALLED 'THAT'S THE EDGE OF THE RWY' 3 OR 4 TIMES IN RAPID SUCCESSION TO THE CAPT WHEN WE RAN THE R MAIN AND NOSE GEAR OFF THE R SIDE OF THE RWY. THE CAPT REDUCED PWR TO IDLE AND DEPLOYED THE REVERSERS ALONG WITH APPLYING BRAKES. BUT, BEFORE WE RE- ENTERED THE RWY, WE HAD STRUCK 4 RWY EDGE LIGHTS AND HAD BENT THE R MAIN GEAR DOOR. PLUS, WE HAD BROKEN A COM ANTENNA OFF. OUR COMPANY TOOK PICTURES OF THE AREA WHERE WE HAD RUN OFF THE RWY. WE FOUND THAT THE TAXI LINE FROM TXWY A JOINED WITH THE R SIDE EDGE LINE OF RWY 34 AND DID NOT CONTINUE TO THE CTRLINE OF THE RWY. I FEEL THAT BTWN THAT AND THE DARKNESS, RAIN, AND THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NO RWY EDGE LIGHTS FOR THE FIRST 400-600 FT ON R SIDE OF RWY 34, ALL CONTRIBUTED TO THIS MISINTERP OF OUR POS ON THE RWY.
