Weren't you cleared to land/roll/go around by the tower?

If so, you weren't under a RIS as Tower controllers don't have radar, or at least not radar that is calibrated to give a radar service. They are however, allowed to give a clearance to use the runway and can pass that clearance to a 2nd controller to pass on to you if they don't need to talk to you for any other reason.

So if you were given the above instruction by APC or anyone else it would have been at the behest of the Tower controller and the clearance would have only pertained to the runway and it's useage and doesn't form part of the RIS you are/were receiving.

It's quite a different scenario to en-route flying.
