Olney 1c departure turn Luton RW08

Mmmm...Could someone re assure and educate this slightly bemuzed pilot. Just been in the sim; been out of Luton lots and lots of times for real. Never had any problems. However the instructors here in stars and stripes land are slightly paranoid of this departure in the sim with a turn being called for at 2.6dme. aircraft in FMS turns at 3dme. The furthest the aircraft reaches on the radius of turn at 200kts 25 degree bank is 5nm before it continues on its track.- all sounds normal to me.

My question is this , how far would I have to go to infringe onto the next bit of blue airspace (stansted?!) as they have been recommending me/us to go heading mode to pole the plane around. As I say never been an issue for me but as this has just come up could some expert tell me what you are seeing on your screen before you get flinchy?

sorry for the 'anality' of this but I would like to know.

many thanks
