ESTERLINE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

FISCAL YEARS 2000 through 2003

PURPOSE OF PLAN

This Plan is for the fiscal years 2000 through 2003 and is intended to provide a
program to retain and compensate Esterline officers and selected senior
executives based on the long-term performance of Esterline Technologies. The
Plan is designed to reward successful employment of Esterline's resources to
achieve superior performance against three broad objectives, specifically:
enhanced shareholder value; progress on specified strategic initiatives; and
good operating performance in relation to a comparable peer group of companies.

MEMBERSHIP IN PLAN

Esterline officers and senior executives shall be eligible for membership in the
Plan after appointment and return of a signed acceptance of the appointment
letter specifying the member's award level each year.

The Plan may be modified, amended or terminated at any time; but any such
modification, amendment or termination shall not, without a member's written
consent, affect his/her incentive compensation accrued prior to such
modification, amendment or termination of the Plan. Nothing in this Plan limits
Esterline from exercising the right to terminate an employee at any time for any
reason.

APPOINTMENTS AND PERFORMANCE TARGETS

Each appointee to the Plan shall be entitled to incentive compensation based on
Esterline's combined annual performance in three equally weighted objective
groups. Each of these groups, in turn is made up of several individual targets
which may be changed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at
the beginning of any fiscal year. No award will be earned for a target if the
performance is less than minimum. No additional award will be earned for any
performance above the maximum for each target. Awards will be prorated for other
performance levels. However, actual annual payment to each appointee is subject
to an overall maximum of 150% of an individual's annual target award dollar
amount. Additionally, if directed, the above computed awards for plan members
may be further adjusted, up or down, by the Compensation & Stock Option
Committee of the Board of Directors by an amount not to exceed the greater of
25% of an individual's computed award or annual target.

The performance targets for each objective group are:

Objective Group I: Enhanced shareholder value.

Targets for earnings per share growth and return on equity as set by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Progress toward strategic plan growth and performance goals.

Objective Group III:    Operating performance compared to a peer group of
companies.

Target a.
Target b.

Change in earnings per share
Current period return on equity

COMPUTATION OF AWARDS EACH YEAR

Esterline's performance is calculated relative to each performance target
individually. Each year the discretionary evaluations of Esterline's progress
toward accomplishment of long-term objectives is made by the Compensation
Committee using the individual targets. Achievement of each criterion at the
target level earns the full targeted weight of the individual's award for each
performance target, as established by the Compensation Committee. Overall,
annually each individual can only receive 150% of his/her annual dollar target
unless the Compensation Committee makes an overall adjustment as described above
(see "Appointments and Performance Targets"). The Compensation Committee's
evaluated performance is recommended to the Board of Directors for approval
before payment.

PAYMENT OF AWARDS

The amount of each annual payment, if any, based on annual evaluation, will be
made prior to the following March 1 after the close of each of the four fiscal
years. These partial payments under this plan, once paid, are not refundable to
Esterline Technologies.

A Plan member must be an employee on October 31, 2000, 2001, 2002 or 2003 to
receive payment related to that year. However, if an employee's participation in
the Plan is terminated during any Plan year due to normal retirement, death or
disability, a pro rata share of his/her annual award will be determined after
completion of the incomplete fiscal year, and paid no later than the following
March 1. In the case of death, payments shall be made to his/her estate.
