Narrative:

I wish to bring to light two safety issues that I feel need to be addressed: 1. The deicing at numerous stations is in violation with one of our cautions on our deice checklist. I have been deiced at several stations this winter; contract and an air carrier. They start with the tail on the left side of the aircraft and then spray the left wing from behind the wing forward against our flight controls. Is this leading to some of our problems with our flaps? I discussed it with the station but get nowhere! 2. The ruts at the intersection of 35 and 27R at phl are becoming dangerous. They are so deep that I am afraid that one of our planes is going to end up tearing off the nose gear. I had a student land short of the intersection the other day and our nose wheel had such a shimmy afterwards all the way down to turning off of the runway I had to write it up. The ruts are also leading people to consistently land beyond the intersection using up valuable runway.
