Why is there any question?
Because it depends on the reason of the malfunction. If you hit a flock of birds you might very well have the same issues on the good engine in a matter of a few seconds/minutes. An engine failure on the 330 already stable and in landing conf is barely noticeable, especially if on autopilot. From 1200ft to 500 ft you have about 1 min flight time, You can secure the engine till you reach 500 ft and call stable with flaps 3.
