You must hold a valid and current pilot medical certificate to pilot any powered aircraft except when exercising sport pilot privileges.

Hints for Your FAA Medical Examination and Keeping Your Pilot Medical Certificate

10.  Remember to check the blocks regarding drug and alcohol offenses and other legal encounters

Many applications are returned to airmen because they fail to check any answer on questions 18.v. (convictions or administrative actions related to driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs) and 18.w. (history of other convictions). This results in the medical application being returned to the pilot for completion.  As above, this question not only includes events since your last FAA medical exam, but also requires a "Yes" response if you EVER have had a conviction or administrative action.  Concealing a moving violation involving the use of alcohol or illegal drugs is foolish. The pilot's signature at the bottom of the application authorizes the FAA to search the National Driver's Registry for any violations.  Not only will concealment of an offense trigger a medical evaluation, but the Securities Division of the FAA may pursue enforcement action against your Pilot CertificateFalsification of a medical application is subject to up to 5 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and revocation of a pilot certificates and ratings.
