It actually does not matter what the angle of incidence is - you can use the airplane longitudinal axis as a datum for the AoA and for all practical purposes, the difference between the pitch and FPV is your AoA.

This will be somewhat altered by headwind/tailwind - AoA is measured w.r.t to airspeed, whereas FPV uses ground speed for calculation
