Federal government, provided you do not have an official denial or
revocation of medical eligibility on file with FAA..
You then must comply with the restrictions placed on whichever method
you choose. For example, if you choose to use your driver's license as your
medical certificate, you must comply with all restrictions on that license. In
addition, and this is very important, you must not act as a pilot- in-
command of an aircraft if you know or have reason to know of any medical
condition that would make you unable to operate the aircraft in a safe
manner.
However, a pilot who has had his or her last medical "denied" or "revoked"
by FAA will be required to obtain a special issuance medical (or alternative
evidence of medical eligibility under a separate procedure being developed
by FAA) before being allowed to base his or her medical fitness solely on
driver's license requirements.
