For more than 75 years of enactment of the Dutch Criminal Code (KUHP), the legality principle contained in Article 1 Paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code is applied rigidly in Indonesia. This rigidity is now perfected with the model of the Judicial Pardon which can be imposed after examination and proof that leads to the conclusion that the defendant is legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing the crime charged by the Public Prosecutor. However, because there are several basic considerations as guidelines for sentencing, namely the lightness of the act, the personal circumstances of the perpetrator, the circumstances at the time of the commission of the crime, the aftermath, and incapacity that can be forgiven, as well as aspects of humanity and justice, grant judges the authority not to impose a crime or impose action against the defendant, so that the decision model perfects the principle of legality in modern sentencing, and is expected to solve the problem of the excess number of inmates from prisons. This research was conducted using the normative legal research (qualitative legal research) method by conducting a juridical study of data sources originating from the legal principles contained in the Criminal Code of several countries.

The regulatory provisions related to guarantees for aircraft are based on the provisions of Law Number 15 of 1992 concerning Aviation which stipulates that aircraft can be used as collateral through a mortgage guarantee institution, but in its development, the regulation was replaced by Law Number 1 of 2009 concerning Aviation, which in its latest arrangement eliminates the ability of aircraft to be subject to collateral. This condition creates a legal vacuum because it does not provide alternative settlements and adjustments to aircraft that have been and will become objects of guarantee. So based on these conditions, it is necessary to have a regulatory model that can be used as a reference in the formulation of regulations related to the continuation of aircraft as an object of guarantee. The regulatory model referred to in this paper is in the form of formulating a regulatory pattern that provides a comprehensive overview of the Guarantee Institution, Implementation Mechanism, Guarantee Execution Mechanism, and Guarantee Implementation Authority that adapts to the regulatory system in Indonesia. To describe the regulatory model, the research method used is a normative juridical method based on a statutory and conceptual approach. With the aim of being able to comprehensively present a form of a continuous pattern of arrangements that will form a protection system for creditors by focusing on the Guarantee Institution, the guarantee implementation mechanism, the guarantee execution mechanism, and the Guarantee Implementing Authority for aircraft.
