Yes, you are right;
But the align-MFD may help you to burn right in time and to avoid overburns.
Also the OP, zeldafan156, asked for that:
how do i set that in align planes mfd? also what is LAN im having a bit trouble figuring this out someone please help me with that
Last, not least:
If somebody came in here (by forum-search i.e) with intention to make a more precise approach to geostationary orbit?

I looked a little closer at the values of an earth equatorial orbit in AlignPlaneMFD.
! They are not constant as in ORBITER2006 any longer !
We have to calculate current values matching the date we want to use them.
