After, checking the website, I'm pretty certain that 
"chassis wiring" means the wiring of an electronic 
device chassis, e.g. a radio - implying that the runs 
will be less than one foot, often only an inch or two.

Also, as someone pointed out regarding switches, current 
for AC can be considerably higher than for DC.  I wouldn't 
use Powerstreams chart for wiring an airplane.
