Narrative:

We departed the wall street heliport and as soon as we left the pier #2 engine spooled down to flight idle approximately 60 percent N1. We were forced to glide to the surface of the water, with per from #1 engine. We deployed the floats. We secured the aircraft engines and electrical systems, got our passengers to dry land and then had the helicopter lifted to dry land. Crew training situation. No one was hurt, no damage to the aircraft other than water damage.
