What does "aircraft in geo zone unable to take off" means and the word " aircraft " is my drone or an airplane nearby?

Aircraft refers to your drone.... you are unable to take off because you are in a restricted zone. If you expand your map on the DJI flight app you should be able to see the zone you are in.

DJI has implemented a system of "geofencing" which bricks your drone if you are in a restricted or no fly zone. If in a RZ you need to get authorization, then apply to big brother to unlock your drone for that area. Check their geozone map to see if you are trying to launch from and RZ.

Perhaps I wasn't clear when I referenced "big brother" in getting your drone un-bricked. But you have to go to the DJI Flysafe website and request unlocking, using ATC authorization to provide the "reason" for the unlock request.
 
Which model are you flying? I fly M1P's and installed the software from No Limit Drones. It removes NFZ's and altitude restrictions but with that said you still need to fly smart. Recently i was at Galveston Beach and it flashed on my screen that i was close to an airport. My GF wanted some photos so i only flew at about 25 feet (any aircraft that low by the beach has other things to worry about other than my drone).
