Possibly, but if you did it by the book at your maximum category speed for initial approach, you'll be rolling out inbound with the descent point for the 3° slope half a mile behind you….

As for how far out the design could have been drawn to take you out safely at 2200, well Google earth shows some reasonably high hills starting at 10DME - just off the map north of the rivers' junction. Photo from them looking south to the airport. Panoramio - Photo of Sagaing - View from the top of Sagaing hill ???? these are probably the limiting factor.
