The length of time that's elapsed since the probable ocean crash of the jet

At least with the Titanic, you had a much better fix of where it went
down and that was more a question of when the tech would develop to let
it happen than IF it would happen.

Yes, the rescue ships knew where it sank within a few miles.

If they don't find the ship before the beeper stops, they won't find it
in our lifetimes.

(Why not put longer-lived batteries in the beeper? I'm willing to
contribue two. )
