If Mass/Balance allow then leave the front seat empty - both Mum and daughter in the back. That way if the 7 year old doesn't feel happy with everything Mum is right there.

Another point is that if she doesn't want to get in the aeroplane leave it there. My 7 year old nephew didn't want to get in the aeroplane the first time he had the opportunity - whereas his little sister jumped at the chance. We just left it at that - next time he had the chance he wanted to go. I'm sure if we'd pressured him the first time it would have put him off for years.
