Non-EASA aircraft, are those types of aircraft by which they are excluded from EASA Regulation 2018/1139. Among these types are ultralight motorised aircraft called ULM, Historical, Experimental, Amateur Construction Aircraft. Also excluded from the EASA regulations are those aircraft that are used in the use of military operations, patrol boats, police, etc. For more details of which aircraft are excluded, you can consult Regulation 2018/1139, in its Article 2.3(a) and Annex I.

EASA aircraft is the one that has a design approved by EASA, which applies Regulation 2018/1139. The aircraft designs that EASA has approved can be consulted on EASA’s own website.

A Flight Authorisation (also called Flight Permit) is a permit that is normally issued when the Airworthiness Certificate is temporarily invalid and the aircraft is required to fly for established reasons. 

The Authority or an Organisation with privileges may issue the Flight Authorisation provided it is under specified and approved flight conditions. There is a user manual for EASA aircraft and a user manual for NO EASA aircraft with instructions and information on how to obtain a Flight Authorisation. This manual also indicates how to carry out subsequent activities after obtaining the Certificate of Airworthiness, such as modifications, suspensions, etc.

GPS equipment should not appear on the station license.

The Station License is mandatory for any aircraft with Spanish registration that has emitting aeronautical equipment.

An Airworthiness Certificate is the document that accredits the aircraft to which it refers, as being in a position to fly by meeting certain safety requirements. 
AESA would be the authority responsible for issuing Airworthiness Certificates for aircraft that are or will be registered in Spain. 

To apply for the Airworthiness Certificate there is a user manual for EASA aircraft and a user manual for NO EASA aircraft (Excluded construction aircraft by amateurs and experimentals who have their own guide). This manual also indicates how to carry out subsequent activities after obtaining the Certificate of Airworthiness, such as modifications, suspensions, etc.

As can be seen on the relevant EASA website (ETSO FAQ), you must be, or have previously applied for, the ADOA (or DOA, if it is an ETSO article which is an APU) and the POA.
 
The DOA/ADOA and ETSO are held by EASA. The POA is handled by AESA as the Spanish Aviation Authority. Therefore, all 3 approvals have to be requested at the same time (approximately), from the respective Authority.
 
A.133 (Eligibility) is essential to remember in relation to the POA:

• The production activity to be undertaken must be "appropriate" for approval under Part 21 Subpart G, as is the case for an ETSO item. In addition, and also essential to meet this criterion, is direct delivery to the final customer.
• You must own or have applied for approval of the design you wish to produce (which would be fulfilled by making the DOA/ADOA application).

If you do not have a digital certificateor Cl@ve , it can also be sent by registered post or through the other formal channels of the Administration to the following address: Paseo de la Castellana 112. 28046 Madrid, addressed to the Initial Air Navigation Division.

AESA does not send acknowledgement of receipt when it receives the declaratory renewal of the Restricted Airworthiness Certificate, however, it reserves the right to notify if it detects any irregularity in the completion of the declaratory certificate.
