Narrative:
While performing a test flight after a major rework on the aircraft. I flew a profile that would test the GPWS for gear up and no flap condition. I coordinated this with okc tower. It involved doing a no flap/no gear low approach. I flew the approach at 220-250 KTS. I made sure not to exceed 250 KTS. Later I remembered there is also a class D/C airspace limit which I exceeded. Operations!
