wrong the controller is still provideing wake turb spacing unless the aircraft has the other aircraft in sight , just having the airport in sight dose not relive the controller of wake turb seperation. vectoring an aircraft to the loc on a visuisl approach allows the controller to control the turn point and spacing on final.
