One additional caveat, the last Centaur burn does not necessarily
circularize the orbit. For some geostationary transfer orbits, the
Atlas V uses a multi-burn profile to place the payload into a
geostationary transfer orbit with a high perigee and apogee at the
geostationary altitude. See e.g. the CLIO launch
(https://www.ulalaunch.com/docs/default-source/news-items/av_clio_mob.pdf)
with S/C sep 2h52m after launch.
