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.

Looks like there is something really wrong with this spreadsheet. 14 Ga. wire typically carries 15 amps while 12 ga. typically carries 20 amps. I believe 16 amps would burn up a 18 ga. wire pronto, under any circumstances.
