OK, I'll bow to your linguistic ability, though I'm pretty sure that no part of "900 м от дальнего по заходу торца полосы" translates literally as "beyond".

And with a 4,200m runway, by the time you are 900m from the far end, you've already overflown almost all of it.

Doubtless the FDR will establish conclusively what happened and where.
