Above 600ft no problem, or less so than on take-off, favourite place for certain QFIs to throttle back an engine. Full rudder, 10deg bank, throttle back and descend to accelerate to safety speed before climbing slightly cross controlled.
Below 600ft and below safety speed IMC - abandon (by the book) If VMC -runway in sight throttle back the live engine to retain control and accept undershoot or the grass or abandon. Certainly know of one case of a surge on short finals where they ended up touching down parallel to the rw but landed across the unoccupied QRA pans and all got out but with minor injuries (even the pax in the jump seat).
It was rumoured that the engines on the Canberra design were moved out from close to the fuselage as the Avons were looking to be very delayed and piston engines and props could then have been fitted in the interim.
