Gundernak,

Sorry, but you have it completely wrong. It is UPWASH not downwash that makes the change, which is not "massive" - probably about 4 or 5 degrees at full flap; and if you introduce a term such as "induced AOA" you will need to define it. It would be better to write about an increment in AOA at the vane location.
