Could someone help explain the probationary check ride process, please? Got an HI6 telling me to sign up for training in January via RF 100 GND and check my HI10 for training dates.

HI10 shows Hire Month/Recurrent Month. RF 100 GND wants me to pick training, but in January per the HI6.

And what the heck is a probationary checkride??

Clueless. TIA.
