Narrative:

Cleared to land runway 9R, daylight VFR, at approximately 600 ft AGL noticed an air carrier B747 approaching our landing runway. We were cleared to land. At approximately 400 ft AGL, it was clear that the B747 would not clear our runway, he was in the middle of our runway. We initiated a go around at approximately 400 ft AGL, with the B747 still in the middle of our runway. Subsequent go around and landing on runway 4R was uneventful.
